The SLJGEM follows 12 steps in the editorial review process:

• The journal’s Editor-in-Chief and the coordinating Editor of the respective field examine the paper to determine whether it is relevant to journal’s needs in terms of novelty, impact, design, procedure, language as well as presentation and allow it to proceed to the reviewing process. If not appropriate, the manuscript is rejected outright and the author is informed.
• The Editor-in-Chief sends the article-identifying information having been removed, to two (2) reviewers. They are specialists in the subject matter of the article. The Editor-in-Chief requests that they complete the review within three (3) weeks.
• Comments to authors are about the appropriateness and adequacy of the theoretical or conceptual framework, literature review, method, results and discussion, and conclusions. Reviewers often include suggestions for improving the manuscript. Comments to the editor is in the nature of the significance of the work and its potential contribution to the research field.
• The Editor-in-Chief and Coordinating Editor examine the review reports and decide whether to accept or reject the manuscript, inform the authors to revise and resubmit the manuscript or seek additional review reports. If there are no revisions the manuscript is accepted with the reports based on reviewers’ reports. The reviewers' comments are forwarded to the authors. If a revision is indicated, the editor provides the necessary guidelines to the authors for adhering to the reviewers' suggestions and perhaps additional advice about revising the manuscript.
• The Editor-in-Chief sends the revised manuscript out for re-review. Typically, at least one (01) of the original reviewers will be asked to examine the resubmitted article.
• When the reviewers have completed their work, the Editor-in-Chief examines their comments and decides whether the manuscript is ready to be published, needs another round of revisions, or should be rejected.
• The Editor-in-Chief reserves the final right to accept or reject any material for publication, if the processing of a particular manuscript is deemed not to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the journal. If rejected, the rejection notification is sent to the respective author or the Corresponding author.
• The editorial assistants ensure that the manuscript adheres to the correct style (in-text citations, the reference list, and tables are typical areas of concern, clarity, and grammar).
• The authors are asked to respond to any minor queries by the editorial assistance. Following these corrections, page proofs are mailed to the corresponding author for his/her final approval.
• The accepted paper is processed for publication (soft copy) upon the successful completion of the journal’s terms and conditions. Author(s) should prepare the final version of the article in the template sent by the Coordinating Editor. The author may ask for the acceptance letter after making the payment of publication fee. The acceptance letter is issued within two weeks as the publication fee is realized.
• The paper is published online first. The printed version of the article will be published in the immediate subsequent printed version.
• The editorial assistant will ask the authors of the published papers to send their correct and complete mailing address (with proper postal code) by one week after print publication.
